A Discouraging IxH of Teettmowy to
Thla Effect U Glrea by the Men
Hot rtra.TDi Crvrn bf the Ten ti

Do college-bred woman make oo
wives or do they notT A dlscourag
Ing number of men lean to the aega
tlve, If testimony gathered by Aa
nette Austin and published la "Good
Housekeeping" la to be taken aa re's
resentatlve. The reasona given by
the testifiers are many and various.
"The college girl la too religious,"
eaya one man. "She la always push
ing a spiritual hobby under your
nose."
"Too masculine," complains an
other. "Not content to resemble a
boy in tastea and disposition, kut
must dress like htm."
Of kindred mind la a third critic,
"Hard, brainy, Bsty," ba terselyde
scrlbes the college girl. "Resemble,
a fourteen-year-old boy more tkaa
anything In nature, and always will."
A New York physician bring a
number of counts against the college
girl. "Inadaptable In the marriage
relation," he says. "Her Intolerance
la dlrocted especially against men.
. . . Seclusion In college breeds
a distorted Idea of marriage and. of
the so relation In general, and It la
to this crass Ignorance that much
misery in the marriage relation la
Iraoeable."
Also, thla physician thinks she Is
"too masculine. A woman has failed
to fullfll her first duty to humatftty
when she falls to be attractlre," he
declares, "and the college-educated
woman Is usually not attractive by
roaBon of her masculine attitude to
ward life." She Is too athletic, bis
a "lumpy, clumsy way of moving
about ... is slangy to a de
gree, and even swears on occasion."
AM' In all, the doctor thinks college
girls are dreadfully-unladylike. -
Another man, an author-physician,
la even gloomier.
"The tendency to withdraw Inte
herself, to shun marriage and to seek
a career, which is particularly notice
able of the college-bred woman. Is a
manifestation of a deep-seated ab
normality, the result of a misdirected
training In a freak Institution." That
is only one of the things the author
physician says. In particular he is
bitter because a college girl he be
llevas wouldn't marry a man who
said "It's him."
"No matter how worthy he may
be as a man, how prosperous in busi
ness, how amply suited to make her
a good husband, that grammatical
error removes him forever from any
hope of eligibility to her hand," .
Deafness.
A deaf child is probably severing

In a great hurry. He stepped up to
the man in charge and Inquired:

"Eight, sor. But sure, this la the

Two young persona at Oeraua

The young man was game. "Par

"I am sorry to say he Is not," the
young woman responded, without
the slightest sign of recognition. "Do

The appointment of Count John
Be ms toff as German Ambassador to

dinner which was given at Dellmoni
co's In the early '80s by the late Mr.
Ltckemeyer, bis father-in-law.
This gentleman was a weslthy Im
porter and he received from the Unit,
ed States Government the sum of
110,000 as a refund of excessive duties
enacted from him on Importations.
' He dedicated thla sum to a gastro

nistory of New York restaurants, sara

geous entertainment for a limited
number of guests been rivalled.
Seventy-two friends were asked.
There waa one table covered with
flowers, excepting a apace In the cen
tre, left for a lake and a border around
tbe table for the plates. This lake
was an oval pond, thirty feet in length
by nearly the width of the table, en
closed by a delicate golden wire net
work reaching from table to ceiling,
making the whole one grand cage.
Tn the lake awam four swans,
brought from Central Park, surround
ed by high banks of flowers, which
prevented them from splashing tbe
water on the table. Golden cages
with canaries were hung from the
cetilng and the entire room was one
met of flowers. It waa a dinner at
which all the moat fashionable women
of that day were present
The menu was done In gold and

were two soups, a relere, three en

Where the Apple Came From.
There are two rarletiea of apples

of apples are found in tbe heaps of

Strengthening n Worst Petticoat.
A favorite silk petticoat became
wcrn near the bottom, the seams and
breadths giving sway beneath tbe
ruffles. It waa not worth expend
ing money for new silk, hut the own
er disliked to discard it altogether,
so repaired it In this fashon: Two
and a half yards of heatherbloom
were purchased as near the shade of
the ailk as possible. The bottom of
the skirt was faced up knee-high on
the wrong aide with this, thus
strengthening the worn parte be
neath the ruffles. A deep flounce of
the heatherbloom waa attached to
tbe top of the facing, on the under
side, of course. Tbla was not very
full, but caused the skirt to set out
nicely around tbe bottom and took
mucb of the wear and tear off of the
already weakened silk ruffles. The
skirt bas now stood seversl addi
tional months' wear, and seems good
toran Indefinite period.
